(Adds Deutsche Post comment, shares)
DUESSELDORF/FRANKFURT, June 15 (Reuters) - Deutsche Post has reduced its stake in Deutsche Bank to below 3 percent and plans a complete exit soon.
"We want to cut our stake in Deutsche Bank to zero in the weeks ahead," a Deutsche Post spokeswoman said on Monday after Germany's largest lender revealed Post's voting stake had fallen to 2.82 percent from nearly 5 percent in mid-May.
Deutsche Post briefly got a stake of as much as 8 percent in Deutsche Bank this year as part of a capital increase that accompanied Deutsche Bank's partial purchase of Post unit Deutsche Postbank.
It has now been winding down its holding, as planned, to focus on its core mail and logistics business.
The Deutsche Post spokeswoman declined to say who bought the Deutsche Bank shares it sold.
Deutsche Bank shares closed down 5.8 percent and Deutsche Post stock fell 3.6 percent, while the blue-chip German DAX index retreated 3.5 percent.
